Broom in spanish9/19/2023 The stems of Spanish Broom have a wide pith within (unfortunately your Author did not know this when he was taking all these photos). The few leaves on it eventually fall off in late spring which explains why your Author could only find one or two leaves on the larger plants. Most of the photosynthesis occurs within the stiff stems of the plant, with the leaves contributing little. The only leaves on the plant are always much nearer the ground never trefoil as are many other Fabaceae. They are glaucous green with tiny white hairs, which might rub off those parts higher up the plant when buffeted by high winds. All are rigid and straight forming a very architectural space. The stems are sometimes well-branched, coming off the main stem at an angle of about 60°. Some pods have already fallen off (the pale-brown stumps on the stem). There might eventually be 18-22 (?) in each pod. The developing peas/seeds can be discerned in the top half of the pod. The pods eventually grow to 8-10cm long and blacken when ripe, bursting open with a crack to scatter the seeds. All pods are directed upwards on stiff stalks, rather than hang down as they do on many other fabaceae plants. On this specimen the keel is splitting at the bottom, no longer joined, which will, of course, sink the canoe :-)Įventually the petals wither off and the ovary grows into a long, thin straight-edged pod. The single pale-green style and 10(?) concolorous yellow filaments both curl up from the open canoe-shaped keel. The canoe-shaped keel protrudes beyond the two wings. Flowers on a short stalk encased in fused sepal which has no gaps between it and the flower it holds the flowers nearer the bottom escaping first.įlowers large, mainly a deep yellow (deeper yellow than Broom) typically fabaceae shaped with a large banner, two wings and a keel.īut whereas the keel on many other Fabaceae plants usually comprises two clasping halves and are mostly hidden between the two wings, those on Spanish Broom are canoe-shaped (fused at the bottom but open at the top) and extend way-beyond the two wings held apart either side. The stems are mostly featureless, with very faint ridges and tiny white pin-pricks (possibly very short hairs). The flower spike might have about 20(?) potential flowers, here in bud stage. The flowering spike, a raceme, occupies the top. The stems are thin, rigid, mainly straight with just a gentle overall curve on them and sparsely branched. scattered mostly around London, but elsewhere occurs in a few isolated hectads mainly on the west half of England.

ROOM in Spanish: InfographicĬheck out these other English Spanish articles.Broom (Spanish) / Spanish Broom - Wild Flower Finder That sounded a bit awkward coming from your boss, right? When “room” does not mean bedroom in Spanish you can use the word sala or salón. “In which bedroom will we gather at 2pm?” “❾n cuál cuarto nos vamos a reunir a las 2pm?” He used to ask us about the availability of rooms to have business meetings. A few years ago I had a boss who was Hispanic, but his first language was English. When room does not mean cuarto in SpanishĪn extra point worth adding to this topic is that there are times that the word room does not translate to cuarto in Spanish and here is a real story. We know them because we hear them in television programs, movies dubbed in Spanish and/or Hispanic telenovelas. However, the words pieza and recámara are not used in my country. Furthermore, the words habitación and dormitorio are used in formal occasions, such as in real estate advertisements. The most common or less formal word is cuarto. The rest of the words I knew, but I generally mix their usage, according to the formality of each.įor example, my perception of formality or informality goes according to use in Puerto Rico. Jared told me that using the word ambiente to refer to a “room” is used in Argentina. If you want to say “room” or “bedroom” in Spanish you will have several options to choose from:įrom this list, only the sixth word ( ambiente which translates to “environment” in English) was the only one totally unknown to me. Here I’ll show another example, this time the use of the word “room” or “bedroom.” As you know, we love to highlight the diversity that exists in Spanish vocabulary.
